Pictures of me with my handsome late father

I still remember I asked my youngest brother to help scanned all old pictures of me and my family not long before the tragedy of our house burned down in fire [1]. Can see below is his effort in help to scanned the old pictures. Only if he manage to scanned them all, my world would be a better place to stay in.
At this time, we are already a family of 4.
 Can see how me and my sister pull off smiley Colgate commercial pose in the picture๐Ÿ˜‰. I am in the middle. The pretty fair one on my Mum's lap is my brother number 4 [2]. The one on my late father's lap is my brother number 3 [2].
Better look of my handsome late father.
I think I am 6 years old in this picture. Around year 1989 [3]. Which means that my late father is around 34 years old this time. To be frank, I can still remember that my late father is still fairer than me despite I am already in high school. Not that long before he passed away last 2 March 2000. I am able to remember the exact date as it happens before my SPM exam. And my youngest brother just 3 years old that time.

Till then, please make scanned copy of all your precious pictures and keep the back up in a safe place๐Ÿ˜‰. A lesson well learned for me.

Throwback on my self make up during wedding reception of my cousin

Me and my other cousins, my aunts and uncles were attending one of other cousin wedding last time in June 2011. I am unable to remember the wedding location.
This entry is solely on how I put on my own make up last time. Despite still lots to learn.

Love the light effect in this picture.

I am using contact lenses and false eyelashes this time.
I do think I still look good despite I still do not know how to do my eyebrows and even shading.
Well, I cannot say I learn about false lashes from whom. In order to protect her best interest in sharing such beautiful information to me๐Ÿ˜‰.
Thanks to her, I am able to wear false lashes neatly.
The look before  we went home after the event.
Despite I have lack of tools and skills this time, I am still able to pull off a good make up application nicely. All thanks to my good skincare regime and good skin condition that time.
Till then, have fun in putting your own make up for an event, wedding reception and etc.

Advertisement song by Gatsby for Moving Rubber by Takuya Kimura

This is actually for hair product from Gatsby, Moving Rubber [1]. The advertisement was played each time commercial break last time in 2005 during the aired Japanese series Engine [2]. Where Takuya Kimura is the leading actor in it [3].
What I remember the most is my Mum fondly speaks on him. By saying that he really suits to be in the advertisement ๐Ÿ˜‰. Despite he is not as a hunk like Takashi Sorimachi in my preference of male actor [4].

Till then, do enjoy reminiscing the good old advertisement song๐Ÿ˜.

Song Now and Forever by Richard Marx

I think this is the only song I knew being sang by Richard Marx. As I am unable to recall his other song๐Ÿ˜–. Might be because this song is released in 1994 [1]. Which I may heard of it during my high school years. As I only owned a Walkman that time.
I love the soft melody of the song. His soulful voice and part of the lyrics that I like. That is "Now and forever, I will be your man".
Actually I stumble on this song after I notice that he is the writer for song "This I Promise You" by NSYNC [1].
Lyrics [2]:
Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seem to understand
Now and forever, I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever, I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the time
All this time

Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever, I will be your man
Now and forever, I will be your man


Till then, do enjoy soapy love song like me in the weekend๐Ÿ˜.

Raw meat for my baby Dell

Despite I give half cooked meat to my cats, I do occasionally give them raw meat and fish whenever I could. I also give them raw eggs once or twice in a week as a treat [1].
Below you can see how Dell enjoys the raw chicken heart. Despite it is unfinished afterwards, he already full with his fill.
Yes, Dell is my mini tiger in my mini jungle yard at home.
Till then, let the inner tiger in your cat let loose by treating them with raw meat once in a while๐Ÿ˜‰.

Song I'll Be by Edwin McCain

This song is quite famous and used in love movie in the 90's [1]. The song was used in the masquerade ball scene in A Cinderella Story [1].

Lyrics [2]:
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth.
And tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
And you're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive and not dead.
And tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

And I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.

Frankly, I just love this line from the song. That is I'll be your crying shoulder. Plus, Edwin McCain voice just perfect for the song. Well, this is merely the inner girly opinion of mine๐Ÿ˜.

Original version of the song by Edwin McCain. Personally, I like this the most compare to the cover versions available.

Cover version from Dean Geyer, Australian Idol [1].

Blake Jenner performed the song in the finale of The Glee Project [1].

Till the, enjoy your weekend with soapy love song like me๐Ÿ˜.
